Q: What treatment CAN'T you get without health insurance?
Can you still receive treatment for allergies, asthma, dental exams, therapy, or counceling? Can you receive medications or immunizations? Will they immediately dismiss you if you do not have insurance and you need treatment for cancer? Will they dismiss you for a regular checkup at a doctor? What about a physical exam? Thanks =)

A: If you have the cash or line of credit to pay then you can get anything you need. With regards to treatments like Kidney Dialsysis, the government pays for it. Some cancer societies will help pay for treatment, but you have to prove you're in need. Insurance is there to help pay for things.... you can get anything you want done without it, but expect to pay out the nose. Lastly, emergency room services cannot deny you treatment just because you have no insurance. It's the law. If you don't pay your bill they will pursue matters in court.

Q: Do you know any cure or treatment for a breathing allergy?
I’m 18 and since I was born I have a breathing allergy, it is not asthma and I do not get swollen, it’s just that some things such as dust, humidity, certain fabrics make me unable to breath, and I’m afraid of using pills because most of them cause heart diseases so I’m wondering if there’s any cure that doesn’t risk my heart or any other part of my body in that case.

A: Try not to have alot of stuff animals around his room since those are really dust collectors and dust is horrible for asthma. Try not to use the deodorizing sprays when he is in the room and other cleaning detergents. Cats and furry animals they say are not good either. I have a nephew with asthma and for the most part we have done all these things and he has been doing quite well. Smoke of course is number one for asthma so NO SMOKING which I am sure you already know but just a quick reminder. Hope this was of some help.

Q: allergy sinus or asthma?
for quite some time ive been batteling sinus problems, coughing, etc. had sinus surgery two years ago for deveated septum.... then over past year have had horrible cough.... drainage.... loss of voice... been seeing ENT, respitory doctor, and still trying to figure out the problem. It doesn't seem so heady...meaning nose running, headache ect. its more like upper chest lower throat, a lot of constant coughing... and a wheezing sound in my vocals when i breath in and out.. tightness of the chest and shortness of breath. i did every over the counter, cough medicine, and z packs.... now im gona do asthma test and allergy test... does it sound to you like it could be allergy or asthma? and what are the treatments involved....

A: Sounds like you have uncontrolled allergies that can possibly be causing some asthma. You are headed down the right path in consulting with either an allergist or immunologist. These professionals can perform simple skin or blood tests to determine if your symptoms are being caused by allergy, and if so to which allergens you are reacting. Based on the results, they will give you a 3 pronged course of action. First will be allergy control/avoidance, second will be immunotherapy (not done if food allergy is the cause), third will be medication. If you are experiencing asthma they will prescribe medications that will decrease the inflammation in your airways so that you can breathe easier. For example, I am allergic to dust mites, if I am not controlling my allergies I am terribly ill. But, I follow the allergy control procedures for dust mite control (basically setting up a dust free bedroom with some bedding and washing in de-mite) and I rarely need medication. Just for grins, I will give you a link about those nasty little microscopic creatures and a link to how to set up a dust mite allergy free bedroom so that you can see how simple it was for me to do and get well. Good luck!

Q: Is swine flu a more serious concern for children with asthma?
My 2 year old has allergy induced asthma and breathing issues. Whenever she gets any kind of cold or flu it's 3 times worse than it would be for another child. Within a day we have to start throwing every breathing treatment we can at her just to fight back. Worst case, if my child were ever to get the swine flu, would she be in serious trouble? Would she more likely become a serious case?

A: yes they are here read this http://www.timesoftheinternet.com/69208.html

Q: nebulizer mask for allergires/asthma?
what the best treatment for allergy/asthma

A: depends on what your dianosis is?? Because there is a lot of difference on your method of attack! Usually a nebulizer is used as a last resort unless you have a disease that warrants it. A pill like Singular is often used for both allergies and asthma. An inhaler is used for asthma. There are several different kinds of inhalers too. Some are used when you are actually experiencing an attack and some are a preventive type inhaler. It is usually a decision your doctor makes because he(she) is treating you and knows you best.

Q: Can a dog have asthma or breathing problems?
I have a beagle. We have noticed the last couple of years that she has heavy breathing. Not all of the time but most of the time it kind of sounds like wheezing like if someone were to have asthma. She has had allergy problems to where we have had to take her to get allergy shots to take care of that. The "asthma" has never been a problem so we have never asked the vet what it is. So the original question is if a dog can have asthma. Is there any treatment? Thanks

A: Yes. But breathing problems can be caused by other conditions too such as obesity. Best bet is your vet.

Q: What are the current treatments for asthma, respiratory allergies ,an chest colds?


A: Those are all different diagnoses, and should be treated differently. See an Asthma/Allergy specialist to determine if you do in fact have asthma, and if you do have allergies that would require just medication, or medication and weekly shots. Chest colds can be linked to allergies because allergies bring down your immune system, leaving you more vulnerable to illness. If you are always getting sick, you should see a specialist who can determine the best action for your case.

Q: Treatment of dust mite allergy(sinus problem) ?
i am suffering from dust mite allergy, since the day i was transferred to jamshedpur. even my mother n my grandmother has a similar allergy. the doctors wrongly diagonalize it as asthma, but i have sinus problem, the sinus passage seems to be blocked, but i can breathe freely through my mouth, without any strain, so tis clear to u that its not asthama, nor any bronchial problem. my age is now 13. please tell me how to treat this allergy. dont tell me to avoid the allergen, because jamshedpur is extremely polluted. any medicine which may be available in india? any herbal treatment?

A: Only by allergy testing would you be able to determine if your allergic to dust mite. Your symptoms seemingly is that of allergic rhinitis. Medications for these include antihistamine, steroidal nasal spray and if feasible immunotherapy. The best way for you to do is consult an allergist,self medication would not give you full control of your condition. By consulting an allergist, you will learn more about your condition and how you can improve or treat it appropriately.
